I’ve been following a very amusing and extremely informative thread on the feminism board. It was unfortunately deleted.

I wonder if some people report the threads they start and then sock puppet on, if they don’t go their way? Any ideas?
I do hope it is still available on the internet somewhere because it should go in classics.

"We have removed this thread while we look behind the scenes. As a number of posts break talk guidelines and we have a number of accounts sockpuppeting"

What did the deletion message say Rex?

Why would it have been taken down?

Started for screenshots. Signposted on twitter almost immediately. Everyone but the sock puppets mercilessly took the piss. TRA's would not want to direct anyone to a thread where they are being mocked and not taken seriously. They reported their own thread to have it deleted.

Was it the lgba one? I had to go shopping, it was shaping up nicely. Sorry I missed the end. Why would it have been taken down?

I have no idea what the rules are on sock puppeting but it was good to see that in the deletion message as it means no useful screenshots.

It collapsed very quickly though. I can see why it was deleted though I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision because it just exposed the fact the OP's premise was built on sand (I'm being kind here).

Agree this may go too.

I think you are absolutely correct about what happened and I agree it was hilarious and a candidate for MN classics.

This thread will be deleted because it's a TAAT.

Also do mumsnet ever reinstate threads, which have been taken down.
